Don’t Take It Remix

Published by Murderbot on January 31, 2008 in Free Tunes, Music and Reviews. 1 Comment

I’m really loving a lot of acid house revival stuff coming out of Chicago right now (as well as France, Belgium, England…)
Of particular interest is a new 12″ featuring a Johnny Fiasco Remix of the never-before-released 1988 acid classic “Don’t Take It” by the late, great Armando Gallop. It’s out on a label called (get this) Let’s Pet Puppies. Peep!

SSION News: New CD, 12″, & Tour Dates!

Published by Murderbot on January 30, 2008 in Events, Free Tunes, Music and Reviews. 1 Comment

Ok, here’s a big post–I’ll try to start at the beginning. I’ve started a new label (a sister label to Dead Homies), called Sleazetone Records, specializing in all the kinds of music that you’d assume a label called “Sleazetone Records” would trade in. The first releases are a CD & 12″ by a group called Ssion–they’re a Kansas City-based art collective fronted by Cody Critcheloe (graphic designer for Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Scream Club, & others). They’ve toured with YYYs, the Faint, Black Dice, & Liars, and they sound kind of like the Pet Shop Boys meet the Dead Kennedys meet Hakan Lidbo.

I’m really not the first person to write about these guys (they’ve been getting a lot of blog buzz lately–see Better Propaganda, Big Stereo, Fluxblog, Gorilla vs. Bear, Imageyenation, Missing Toof, Music For Robots, Palms Out Sounds, Paper Thin Walls, Pitchfork, Pop Tarts Suck Toasted, RCRD LBL, Slutty Fringe, Stereogum, Pitch Weekly, GBH.tv, Pensatos, XLR8R, and forthcoming reviews in Ghetto Blaster, Vice, & Urb), so I’ll skip the press talk–suffice it to say that I feel REALLY strongly about these guys (otherwise why would I have signed them?)–like, I think this new CD is literally one of the best things I’ve heard in years and I’m thrilled to be involved with it.

Anyway, here’s the news, with a few free mp3s for good measure:

Anyway, today we have two new mashup’s of Starkey’s “Corner Store” feat. Xploder (get the original here). This first one is Corner Store + Ginuwine’s “Pony”:

Mashup(s) of the Week(s)

Published by Mr. Mashit on January 23, 2008 in Free Tunes, Mashups / Remixes and Podcast. 0 Comments

More of Our Boots Album Cover OK, it’s officially been over 5 weeks since we posted a “Mashup of the Week” here. Our bad!

Today we’ll try and heal the wounds. Our own wounded blog activity since the o-so-hectic holiday season, and the gaping holes we’ve left in your lives since we haven’t been providing you with a weekly dosage of Mashit mashups.

First of all, allow us to present the following blends that we discovered over on the Virb page of Le Putassier Sound System. Many of these remixes just so happen to borrow heavily from Mashit’s back catalog and we’re thrilled with the outcome. These first two tracks are our faves, but we’re presenting you with one for each of the past 5 weeks that we’ve neglected to supply you with fresh mashups.

Track of the Week

Now that we’ve done our civic duty, we’d like to announce that we’ll be switching this feature from the name “Mashup of the Week” to “Track of the Week.” A number of the tracks we had posted in the past were not really mashups and we don’t want to limit ourselves. So from now on it’s “Track of the Week” and no promises, but we’ll try and stick to it on a more regular basis.

Mashit Release: DJ C & Zulu; “Darling”

Published by Mr. Mashit on January 22, 2008 in Mashit Info, Mashit Releases and Music. 0 Comments

DJ C & Zulu are back to stun you with the big-bass-bounce! Dance-floors explode when this dubplate gets dropped and now it can be yours, along with the Ghislain Poirier remix, exclusively here at the Mashit Shop.

We recently released the sequel to Darling, DJ C & Zulu’s now infamous classic Body Work which has been getting much love from DJs like Flosstradamus, /rupture, and many others. You read correctly, Darling is the prequel and Body Work is actually its remix. We know that’s confusing. What matters is that Darling is set to destroy the dance and you can be among the first to test it out.

In classic single style, the original track is available here with the instrumental, a capella, and an absolutely blazin’ remix by Montreal bounce-meastro Ghislain Poirier (Ninja Tune).

When you buy all 4 tracks together it’s only $2.99 USD and comes with printable cover art. As always at the Mashit Shop, all tracks are high-quality 320 kbps. MP3s, properly tagged including BPM for your DJing convenience.
